Redemption Song: Muhammad Ali and the Spirit of the Sixties by Mike MarquseeAn eye-opening excursion through the politics and culture
of the 1960s. This portrait of the Mohammad Ali provides a springboard for an investigation of the themes of black
representation, popular culture, the Black Atlantic, and the wool and warp of exuberant individualism
and mass protest that came to typify the 1960s. Marqusee's story is populated by figures such as
Paul Robeson and Jackie Robinson, Joe Louis and Kwame Nkrumah. It includes fresh examinations of
Ali's friend, the singer Sam Cooke, who was a secret supporter of the Nation, and of Bob Dylan,
whose retreat from protest to introspection provides an illuminating counterpoint to Ali's own
journey. Marqusee also recreates in detail Ali's associations with Martin Luther King and above
all with Malcolm X, a friendship that was torn apart by the paranoia and ruthlessness of Elijah Muhammad.

on earth. For half a century, he has walked among us, his face as familiar as that of a close friend.

psyche of us all. The world didn't just see or hear Ali; it felt him. And if he hasn't always been

Daniel Boone

The Life of Daniel Boone by Lyman Copeland Draper, Ted Franklin Belue (Editor)Draper, the first secretary of the State Historical
Society of Wisconsin, collected more than 500 volumes of material on the famed frontiersman
Daniel Boone. His biography of Boone remained unfinished for 100 years until Ted Franklin
Belue, a widely read scholar of early Americana, added his authoritative editing. This
long-awaited work is filled with little-known information on Boone and his family, long
hunters, the Shawnee, the fur trade, and frontier life in general.

Daniel Boone: The Life and Legend of an American Pioneer by John Mack FaragherAward-winning historian John Mack Faragher portrays America's famous
frontier hero who scouted the trans-Appalachian west for settlement before any other English-speaking
American, surveyed and helped build the Wilderness Road, and led the settlers' struggle against the
Shawnee defenders of Kentucky. Yet the complex range of Boone's accomplishments has inspired
conflicting accounts of his life and character. Daniel Boone is an intriguing subject whose
legends are enveloped in paradox. History portrays Boone as an Indian-fighting frontiersman,
yet he objected to that reputation, proclaiming his belief in the Quaker tolerance of his
forebears. He was a devoted family man, but his lengthy hunting and trapping expeditions
encouraged the popular depiction of him as a misanthropic man of the woods. And although he
served as a frontier leader of the American Revolution, his fellow officers suspected him of
loyalty to the crown and treasonous sympathy for the Indians.

Abraham Lincoln

The Life and Writings of Abraham Lincoln by Abraham Lincoln, Philip Van Doren Stern (Editor)Abraham Lincoln, the greatest of all American presidents
left us a vast legacy of writings, some of which are among the most famous in our history. Lincoln
was a marvelous writer - from the humblest letter to his great speeches, including his inaugural
addresses, the Emancipation Proclamation, and the Gettysburg Address. In 1940, the prolific author
and historian Philip Van Doren Stern produced this volume as a guide to Lincoln's life through
his writings.

Lincoln on Lincoln by Abraham Lincoln, Paul M. Zall (Editor)Lincoln's writing about himself offers a window
into the soul and mind of America's greatest president. His words reveal an emotional
evolution typically submerged in political biographies. They help to explain, to a degree not
previously understood, the great mystery of his life: the process through which he matured
from laborer to store clerk to country lawyer to president.

Lincoln of Kentucky by Lowell Hayes HarrisonIn the nineteenth century, thousands of Kentuckians
crossed over the Ohio River and went to work and live in Indiana and Illinois. Young Abraham
Lincoln and his family joined this migration, but it was Kentucky -- the state of the future
president's birth -- that shaped his personality and continued to affect his life at every stage.
